Lu Hui looked at his father intently, seeming to understand something, and sighed, "Well, it seems that our luck, father and son, is not very good."
Lu Liangzhou was originally very depressed, but he was still amused by his son's words.
Without further delay, he picked up Xue Yan and took his son quickly into the brigade's supply and marketing cooperative.
…
Qulin County is an agricultural county. Because there is a large-scale Second Construction Corps, the size of the county is not small at all. There is the second largest textile factory in the province in the west of the city.
Although it is still the era of planned economy and reform has not started, it is much looser than in previous years. But even so, the supplies are not abundant. Gu Mingtang has a lot of soaps and towels in his space. He picked out some that can be removed from the logo. , she wants to sell it to get some money.
Gu Mingtang entered the city carrying a wicker basket on his back.
It contains fifty bars of soap, thirty towels, hairpins and other small items that are easily accessible.
Last night, Gu Mingtang boiled two large pots of hot water, and then Lu Liangzhou carried half the night's water.
Although everyone was confused, no one dared to ask.
Lu Liangzhou has an aloof and cold personality, while Gu Mingtang is unreasonable and unreasonable. Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary people to make irresponsible remarks in front of them.
Gu Mingtang washed the two children, using shampoo that he bought randomly in the county town. Lu Liangzhou just looked at her and seemed to have no suspicion.
After washing, he combed it with a comb and kept fussing with it until about ten o'clock, before Gu Mingtang could sleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, she felt a small dumpling roll into her arms and hugged her. When she opened her eyes in the morning, she was the only one at home.
She didn't expect that she was sleeping so deeply, and she didn't even notice the note next to her pillow.
Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan were taken to the Corps by Lu Liangzhou, probably because they were afraid that something would happen to her.
Now that the Corps has not been disbanded, Lu Liangzhou is still the chief engineer, and he still has a dormitory there.
Before leaving, she put ten yuan and several tickets on the table. She didn't take the money, but she put the tickets in her pocket.
While thinking about what happened last night, he walked quickly, and soon, Gu Mingtang arrived at the gate of the textile factory.
It's not time to get off work yet, and the big iron door is closed.
But Gu Mingtang didn't go to the textile factory.
Going around here, there is a group of bungalows, where there is a sneaky trading area, which is also the black market often mentioned in historical articles.
I discovered it when I went to the county town last month to eat and buy randomly.
The journey went smoothly to the entrance of the alley. The guard was a thin young man wearing a torn cotton hat. His hands were inserted into the exposed cotton sleeves. His eyelashes were covered with frost. When he saw someone coming, he narrowed his eyes. Haha. , isn’t this from the Lingxi Brigade?
He has money, is brave, and has a bad temper.
"You want to buy more? Do you want to carry a basket?" Then he stretched out his hand, palm up, asking Gu Mingtang for money.
Gu Mingtang said, "I will give you the money later."
"Why?" The young man suddenly became unhappy.
If you want to enter, you must first pay the entrance fee of 50 cents.
Gu Mingtang opened the backpack and said, "Look at these things. Do you want them?"
The soap in the basket is made of printed oil paper, the towels are made of rainbow stripes, there are hairpins and hairbands, and several bottles of facial cream.
She bought these things from a large cosmetics supermarket.
She just had the space to upgrade, so she collected everything she could.
But then every time I looked at it, I felt disturbing. It would be great if it was filled with water and food.
But looking at it now, it would be really disturbing if it were really water in a space.
The boy looked at everything. Although he was young, he had developed his eyesight after working for two years. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and pretended to ask slowly, "Where did you buy this from?"
The soap smells great, has a delicate and smooth surface, comes in different shapes and colors, and each one looks like a work of art.
The towels were of a quality and pattern he had never seen before. They felt soft and soft, and were completely different from the towels sold now.
Not to mention, it was his first time to see such beautiful hairpins and hairpins.
He looks good as a boy, let alone those older girls and younger wives.
Once you get it, it will definitely sell well.
"I met a few people from a foreign trade company in the south in the west of the city a few days ago... I had money in my hands at the time, and it looked good, so I just bought it. No, my husband was not happy when he came back. He thought I was wasting my money by buying too much. , I have no choice but to sell it, and don’t leave any ink on me. We don’t have this thing in the county, and it is rare even in the provincial capital. If you like it, let’s discuss the price. If you don’t like it, don’t delay me..."
The young man's eyes flashed. Why hadn't he heard that some people from the south had come to the west of the city?
I didn't expect that Gu Mingtang didn't cover up.
But he has indeed never seen these things.
"How to sell it?"
Gu Mingtang told the price, which was 50 cents for soap, 1 yuan and 50 for towels, 60 cents for hairpins and hairpins, and 1 yuan and 50 for a bottle of cream. After some haggling, the deal was settled at a price that both parties were satisfied with but were not happy with.
A total of one hundred and ten yuan was sold.
Compared with current prices and wages, I am not at a disadvantage but I am not taking advantage either.
After all, these things of hers are considered high quality.
They were in the small black market at this time. There were a lot of things in the room. There were not many people, but they were all in demand. They don't let outsiders go either.
But because there are no tickets, everything is very expensive.
Gu Mingtang didn't plan to buy anything here. He came here just to exchange money.
You know, she owes more than 100 yuan in foreign debt.
However, she became interested when she looked at the pressure well in the house. She had an impression of this thing in her memory, but she didn't know how to use it, so she went to the young man just now.
Just now I saw him taking everything to another room, and I vaguely heard someone talking in that room. It was obvious that this was a small group.
Gu Mingtang curiously grabbed the cold handle of the water well and found that there seemed to be an attraction underneath, but there was no water. She looked inside and saw, oh, it was a black rubber circle. At this moment, the boy walked out of the house and saw Gu Mingtang. He was playing with the water well and came over, "Second Sister Gu, don't you see anything you like?"
Gu Mingtang shook his head, but pointed to the pressure well and asked, "Gangzi, can such a well be drilled in the house in winter?"
"Yes, as long as you have steel pipes and money, it will be fine." The young man Gangzi was making a calculation in his mind. Although the prices of those things are high and low, the good thing is that they are good and it will definitely not be difficult to sell. You can earn at least 20 yuan each time you go in and out. .
Then the eldest brother draws five yuan, and he can earn fifteen yuan.
In this case, I would be able to collect enough money to take my sister away from my uncle's house a year ago.
Gangzi remembered what Gu Mingtang said to Bao Yuan just now, and asked in a low voice, "Second Sister Gu, do you still have any at home?"
"Yes, I have."
Gangzi smiled, "I brought a batch back that year. Let's pay back the price. Let me tell you, sell it as soon as you have the goods. These things may not be scarce in the future. There will be more and more of them." .”
